Context of Proverbs 28:10

8Whoever multiplies his wealth by interest and profit gathers it for him who is generous to the poor. 9If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance. 11A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has understanding will find him out. 12When the righteous triumph, there is great glory, but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves.
